John 1:19,22• 19And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites that they might ask him, Thou, who art thou?
 22They said therefore to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? (John 1:19,22)
;
John 10:24• 24The Jews therefore surrounded him, and said to him, Until when dost thou hold our soul in suspense? If thou art the Christ, say so to us openly. (John 10:24)

John 8:12• 12Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world; he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. (John 8:12)
;
John 5:17‑29• 17But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto and I work.
 18For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he had not only violated the sabbath, but also said that God was his own Father, making himself equal with God.
 19Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself save whatever he sees the Father doing: for whatever things *he* does, these things also the Son does in like manner.
 20For the Father loves the Son and shews him all things which he himself does; and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may wonder.
 21For even as the Father raises the dead and quickens them, thus the Son also quickens whom he will:
 22for neither does the Father judge any one, but has given all judgment to the Son;
 23that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He who honours not the Son, honours not the Father who has sent him.
 24Verily, verily, I say unto you, that he that hears my word, and believes him that has sent me, has life eternal, and does not come into judgment, but is passed out of death into life.
 25Verily, verily, I say unto you, that an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that have heard shall live.
 26For even as the Father has life in himself, so he has given to the Son also to have life in himself,
 27and has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is Son of man.
 28Wonder not at this, for an hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs shall hear his voice,
 29and shall go forth; those that have practised good, to resurrection of life, and those that have done evil, to resurrection of judgment. (John 5:17‑29)
• His ways and words were in perfect accord; and all expressed the mind of God. It is not merely that He does what He says, but He is thoroughly and essentially what also He sets out in word. The truth is the reality of things spoken. (“Notes on John 8:21-29” by W. Kelly)
• It is not merely that He does what He says, but He is thoroughly and essentially what also He sets out in speech. The truth is the reality of things spoken. (“John 8” by W. Kelly)
• His speech thoroughly expresses Himself. Essentially [Alford], precisely [Godet], What He is. He also speaks. These alternatives, suggested by various interpreters, differ no doubt in degrees of accuracy; but substantially they agree in identifying the Lord with His utterance also, for He is the truth. (“John 8” by W. Kelly)

WK Translation Notes

a
"Absolutely [or, in principle] what also I speak to you" reflects justly the language, the order of the words, the grammar, and above all the bearing of the context and of this sentence in particular. His speech thoroughly expresses himself. Essentially, precisely, what he is, he also speaks.
